Hive Open Mic ( #openmic ) is a global community celebrating live music on Hive. Each week is a new event, inviting creative expression and genuine connection.
This song is a picture of children in nature. It is a remembrance of my childhood in a small town called Lander, Wyoming, USA, where I grew up. And it serves as an invitation to go out and play. This is a meaningful song to me as I am working to nurture my inner child and remedy that tendency to overwork, or be overly serious. Our Hive Open Mic theme this week is "Toys," and so this song feels like a natural fit with its mention of bikes.
I played it outside, with the mosquitos biting. I notice that the mosquitos are mildly bothersome right now in the city of Austin, Texas, but I recall the mosquitos were majorly bothersome in my old Wyoming hometown. Worse, though, my uncle lives in Paisley, Oregon, where they host an annual Mosquito Festival, because of a myriad of mosquitos. All of this mosquito talk reminds me that my dear sweet brother is recovering from a spell of malaria, so I'm thinking of him.
When I Come Down
A whimsical song for the inner child
In the country is where I’m from
Where the children freeze their toes making snow angels
Where the children crash their bikes into dust devils
I’m on my way way out out of town
I want to climb those hills in the clouds
I want some stories to tell when I come down
In the country is where I’m gonna go
Where the huckleberries hide
Where the grizzly bears reside
I’ll kick my heart door open wide
I’ll let my inner animal outside
And the wilder part of me belongs in the country

About Me
I am a star child, ultra-fly and down-to-earth. I am an artist, making films with Arise and songs with Cosmic Butterflies. My latest completion is a Rock album called "Colors Flying," to be released this Spring. My greatest achievement is my role as a rad daddy to three incredible kids.
Hi @cabelindsay! What a beautiful work you are sharing this week. Above all, that you emphasize childhood through your song, since that is what the song "Toy" reminds us of, childhood. I always read your messages while I was sick and also those of @mipiano. I thank you with all my heart for your good wishes. It is nice to see that despite the distance there are people who are interested in one, and it is beautiful for me to think that at least through this medium we have a great little friendship and musical camaraderie. Thanks to both. It makes me very happy to see you smile in the second photo. So I want to see you always, despite the difficulties of life. A hug from Turmero in Venezuela.
Hola @cabelindsay! Que bello trabajo estas compartiendo en esta semana. Sobretodo que hagas énfasis en la niñez a través de tu canción, ya que a eso es lo que nos recuerda el tema "Toy", a la infancia. Siempre lei tus mensajes mientras estuve enferma y tambien los de @mipiano. Les agradezco de todo corazon sus buenos deseos. Es lindo ver que a pesar de la distancia hay gente que se interesa por uno, y es hermoso para mi pensar que al menos a traves de este medio tenemos una pequeña gran amistad y camaraderia musical. Gracias a ambos. Me hace muy feliz verte sonreir en la segunda fotografia. Asi quiero verte siempre, a pesar de las dificultades de la vida. Un abrazo desde Turmero en Venezuela.

Very accurate with each element, the nature on background of that song feels like perfect scenario, mosquitos in Venezuela are bad to the bone too. I have a brother that lives in Brasil, I can understand what it feels when a family who is far away dont feel his best, I hope your brother get better soon. Nice production ✌
¡Que buena canción! Y me encanta cuando grabas en el exterior... Ojalá por aquà se pudiera... ¡Saludos man!
